The best way to discover the Czech Republic is to leave the city, head to a traditional Czech town, and pack your bags.

Two adjacent towns that provide comparable beauty at more reasonable prices are Cestlice and Dobrejovice.

The town’s most well-known attraction is the 250-hectare Prhonice Park, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and home to more than 1,600 distinct varieties of native and exotic flora. A local bus will take you there in 15 minutes or 6 kilometers from the Opatov Metro stop.
